Abiotic Factors (rain, wind, temperature, location, soil quality, seasons): Varies greatly, during the summer it is very dry and y desert-like and temperatures can reach up to 100 degrees and during the winter temperatures can drop below freezing. Most precipitation happens during the fall and early spring. Precipitation slows after February and completely stops in May
Additional Info. (any famous landmarks, famous types of your biome ex- Sahara Desert, anything well-known in biome, how is biodiversity, etc. make it interesting!!) Southern tip of South Africa Cape of Good Hope, Can also be found in mountain of central Arizona.
